Cat that got the cream.....

Lipstick marked his collar

and the strong smell of perfume

on his shirt.

His wife called.

He answered it in his hotel room.

Making out everything was good.

And the job he was sent to do.

Went well.

Saying to his wife.

He loved her and would see her

tomorrow with presents for all.

For her and the kids.

Then said he loved her and hung up the phone.

She turned around to him and said.

How can you be flippant and easy to say

all that? When you are in this hotel room

with me.

He said he was the cat who got the cream.

And she was a dumb a*s b***h. Who knew

her place.

Meaning she knew you cheated? I asked.

No. he said calmly.

She was the token wife. Pretty and decent.

But not into wild sex and kinky stuff like me

and you do.

He paid me for my time.

I checked the amount. And Got up and dressed

and left the room.

I relate to this (not the infidelity) but being with someone you love and you don't share the same sexual interests. It sucks but people need to be up front with what they want and expect. Better to cut it off then have a marriage that's not fulfilling for one or either people. Sad people do this rather than communicate and talk about it. It threw me off when he said "She was a dumb a*s b***h who knew her place" that kinda stung even for a guy like me. In reference to the title, curiosity killed the cat. Let's hope the cream isn't poisoned (STI's/STD's). Very powerful poem

Much Love

That’s a baseball bat to the teeth. Wow, in the mind all that infidelity and sex sounds exciting, but when the rubber meets the road and people are at stake, the reality is far too stark. Great write!
